Abstract: Post deployment radial force recovery of biodegradable scaffolds are described where a high molecular weight polymer may be formed into a high molecular weight scaffold by solution casting into a tubular substrate such that the scaffold retains its mechanical properties through processing. The tubular substrate is laser cut and subsequently crimped onto a catheter for deployment into a body lumen. The polymeric scaffold may retain its mechanical properties and result in increased radial strength post-deployment in a saline environment, e.g., within a body lumen. This scaffold enhancement may be attributable at least in part to entanglement of high molecular weight polymer chains as one factor that effects radial force recovery and also to the design or geometry of the scaffold as another factor that effects radial force recovery after deployment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating rendering of a webpage are provided. In an example, a render of a portion of a webpage is analyzed to determine if the webpage is being properly loaded at a device. Loading of a webpage may be based on a browser loading the webpage and/or device information (e.g., an operating system running on the device, if the device is a desktop or mobile device, the size of the device, etc.). Renders of the webpage are analyzed to determine if a browser and/or device information is certifiable or suspect for the webpage. Browsers and/or device information that is certified may allow exemption of analysis of renders sent from devices with the same browser and/or device information. Alternatively, devices that have browsers and/or device information that is suspect may be sent feedback providing recommendations for alternate browsers or redirected to a simpler interface for the webpage.

Abstract: A tendon-driven robotic gripper is disclosed for performing fingertip and enveloping grasps. One embodiment comprises two fingers, each with two links, and is actuated using a single active tendon. During unobstructed closing, the distal links remain parallel, creating exact fingertip grasps. Conversely, if the proximal links are stopped by contact with an object, the distal links start flexing, creating a stable enveloping grasp. The route of the active tendon and the parameters of the springs providing passive extension forces are optimized in order to achieve this behavior. An additional passive tendon is disclosed that may be used as a constraint preventing the gripper from entering undesirable parts of the joint workspace. A method for optimizing the dimensions of the links in order to achieve enveloping grasps of a large range of objects is disclosed and applied to a set of common household objects.
